Current pay is poor due to a bancrupcy contract and 5 yrs out of negotiations which has made for a bad morale, surprise! However, new TA'd sections increase guarantee from 62-83 hrs and 22% pay raises across the 5 yr contract. a 3rd yr guy is @ six figures, also going to 15 yr pay scale topping $149 Fo's/205 Ca's FWIW. Most important above all else is record profits $5.35 per share for 2010, i think pax haulers are .50 if they are lucky. Atlas is levered to global growth and insulated against the falling dollar which further increase profits. Lots of growth rumors of large AC's purchases after new joint contract with Polar is announced Q1 11. Only been here 3 months and every place we travel has non-stop construction cranes out my hotel window. Airlines are consolidating, global freight is booming. this job isn't for everyone and if you want routine stay away. BTW, i've yet to work 17 days had layovers in HNL, SYD, HKG of course there are africa ones as well. Don't know if this is it for me but so far so good, ps first year pay is livable/training in MIA! Hope this helps
